AI Search supports larger custom metadata values within a shared 10 KiB metadata envelope for each vector. The envelope includes AI Search system metadata and JSON overhead, so it is not a per-field limit. The first 64 UTF-8 bytes of each indexed string remain filterable. For details, refer to Metadata attributes.
By default, an alarm interrupted by ctx.abort() retries after the Durable Object resets. Pass { retryAlarm: false } when the alarm should stop instead: src/index.jsjs import { DurableObject } from "cloudflare:workers"; export class CleanupTask extends DurableObject { async alarm() { await this.ctx.storage.deleteAll(); this.ctx.abort("Cleanup complete", { retryAlarm: false }); } } src/index.tsts import { DurableObject } from "cloudflare:workers"; export class CleanupTask extends Dura
This release moves four new detections from Log to Block, merges the XSS, HTML Injection - Script Tag - Beta rule into the original rule, and adds a Generic Rules - Remote Code Execution rule in Block mode.

API Shield JSON Web Token validation now supports symmetric keys that use the HS256, HS384, and HS512 algorithms. You can configure HMAC verification keys in the Cloudflare dashboard or with the Cloudflare API. Cloudflare never stores symmetric credentials in plaintext. API responses do not include the credential. Refer to Configure JWT validation via the API for supported key formats and credential requirements.
You wouldn’t run your SaaS off your laptop. So why are we doing it with AI? A lot of the AI automation I see right now still depends on a person sitting in the middle moving information around. Production throws an error. Someone checks AWS logs, drops them into Claude, figures out what happened and creates a Jira ticket. Another dev picks up the ticket and has an agent make the change. Someone reviews it. QA tests it. Maybe DevOps has Codex check the deployment logs over MCP. Information comes
Most transcription APIs still force you to do this: Download the YouTube video Extract the audio with yt-dlp + ffmpeg Upload the file Call the transcription endpoint Call a separate translation API Map generic speaker labels ("Speaker 0") to real names Generate SRT files yourself That’s a lot of moving parts for something that should be simple. The DaDaScribe API collapses most of that into a single request. You send a YouTube URL (or a direct audio/video link), specify the source language, opti
By the time I wrote this, twenty numbered attempts at one Phebs scale gate had been consumed. None had established the full claim. That does not mean I ran the same experiment twenty times. Some attempts stopped during plan review or preflight. Some ran for hours. Some produced a signed, source-free receipt; others found that the evidence pipeline itself could not make a trustworthy record, so they sealed nothing and retired the identifier. Take 18 completed the two-million-file structural profi
Cursed BIOS. | Photo by Sean Hollister / The Verge When a company's software update turns your computer into a useless brick, should fixes be free? Framework, the modular computer startup, apparently thinks so. But it's not clear that computing giant Lenovo will go that far. Three weeks after a Redditor presented a nearly $300 repair bill for their handheld gaming PC - among other reports of damage and high repair bills - the company is breaking its silence. It says, in short: try holding down
